turnbuckle

"A standard turnbuckle won't have enough play to deal with the constructional elongation of the braided line"

Hmmm . . . well it has worked for me. 10mm NER Endura 12 with a turnbuckle - I get plenty of tension. I do also have checkstays which I use to put the finishing touch on the tension if I am going to be going upwind into something nasty.
